    Re-read your posts, it might be clearer. If not ask Hamish, he's a nice guy. He'll explain it.

    No chucky I want you to explain.

    Oh, welcome back chucky. Glad to see that you have fixed/replaced your keyboard, or you have found out where the shift key is.

    according to some people, he never left. i wonder if i'll get an acknowledgement from graham that he was wrong about that. (doubtful)

    he's stopped talking to me since i showed him all those 85% ltv mortgages which he claimed didn't exist, and then suddenly accused me of being chucky (wrong about that too) - why, gosh, it was almost as if....as if.....he deliberately changed the subject or something.

    never mind, i'm sure one of these days he'll be right about something - it's got to be coming after 80,000-odd posts, surely :rotfl:

    some of us have a life outside this forum graham, which means we cant post every single hour of every single day.

    obviously this thread is interesting to me seeing as you were so very very sure that i was someone else, but do continue to be wrong - wouldn't want you to buck the trend or anything.

    So we have have been tipped back into recession because of a collapse in the construction sector. That can't be good for the house price growth optimists (ie over leveraged landlords).

    With mortgage rates rising, stamp duty back, high inflation, wage freezes, rising unemployment can anyone really say house prices won't fall back to reasonable levels.
